Best praise vs top criticism for KEF Q950
“I don't know where some of these comments are coming from. The R series is a whole other level from the older 2.5 way Qs. Either the R3 or the R5 would suit. Personally I'd opt for R3s on stands. I am personally a big fan of bookshelves, though. Offloading that low end duty the the sub(s) really gives room to open up the mids and highs on the bookshelves. I am running R3s currently and I could not be happier with them. I have also spent a lot of time with Q950s. IMO there is really no comparing the two. Completely different class of speaker.”
“I recently purchased kef Q950s to replace some old floorstanding towers I had. I got them in a Walnut finish, even though my center channel is a gloss black kef. I don't think you can even notice it. And the walnut finish on the speakers almost matches the walnut stain on my home built stand. Hopefully my neighbors in my new apartment don't hate it.”
